The current wave of terrorism is not about a lack of jobs, a poor economy, or any of the other excuses we've heard. Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh declared just Tuesday that the motive behind the current wave of violence is "jihad."

"This intifada is not the result of despair. This intifada is a jihad, a holy war fought by the Palestinian people against the Zionist occupation. Only a holy war will drive the occupier out of Palestine," Haniyeh said.

Terrorism, Again (Israel)......indeed!
